A builder refers to an external <strong>make</strong> utility, such as GNU make, that the Eclipse CDT uses (and relies on) to build a project. The CDT can generate <strong>makefiles</strong> automatically when you create a Make C or C++ project, or you have the option of creating a C or C++ Make project where you provide the makefile yourself.</td>
